Local T1, also know as local voice T1, is a circuit which can provide up to 24 local phone lines. A T1 line consists of 24 DS0 circuits. Each DSO circuit carries 64 kilobits per second (kbps). 64 kbps is the standard bandwidth of a normal phone line. (For more about local T1 service please click here)

Coverage Area

Unlike DSL and other broadband technologies that are limited to only densely populated areas, T1 service is available just about anywhere with a phone line. T1, also known as DS1, uses repeaters to boost up the signal strength of the transmission - allowing it to travel up to 50 miles away from the nearest Central Office location.

Local T1 Definition Continued.

Each channel (DSO) of a local T1 provides local phone service. In most cases, for local voice T1 to be cost effective in comparison to POTs (plain old telephone service) lines, a company must need at least 12 phone lines. Local T1 can be provided by a few providers in the form of fractional T1, which can provide as few as 12 channels rather than 24, for less cost than a full T1. Voice channels are also included with integrated T1. Integrated T1 provides both voice and internet channels in the same T1 circuit. With integrated T1, the 24 channels can be allocated in virtually any combinations of voice and internet lines, depending on the needs of the customer. Integrated T1 is often more efficient for smaller companies than obtaining two separate T1 circuits for each voice and internet service. Local voice T1 is sometimes confused with long distance T1. Long distance T1 bypasses the local telephone company, thus resulting in significant savings on long distance service. It is important to know that local calls cannot be made with a dedicated long distance T1. Voice T1 is often confused with data internet T1. Without the use of VOIP (voice over internet protocol), an internet T1 circuit cannot be used for making traditional voice calls. Long distance calls however can be made with local voice T1, usually for a per minute charge. For companies which need more than 24 voice lines, bonded voice T1, fractional DS3 voice, or full voice DS3 are options. Full voice DS3, can provide the equivalent number of voice channels as 28 voice T1s. Through the use of recent compression technology, some providers are beginning to compress voice channels to as little as 32 kbps per voice channel. With the use of compression, T1 lines can carry more than 24 voice lines. Compression technology at this point has not fully matured. For this reason, only a few providers offer compression and thus far reviews are mixed. (Click here to return to top of page)

Benefits of Dynamic Integrated T1 over Channelized T1

Written by: Dennis Green - Nov 22, 2008

Dynamic integrated T1 provides many benefits over other forms of T1. These advantages include the combination of both phone service, as well as internet service on one T1 circuit for a price which is similar to full internet t1, or a voice t1 circuit. This benefit is especially useful for small to medium sized companies which need both voice and internet t1, but only have the budget for one T1 line. A second benefit of dynamic integrated is that it allows access to all data “channels” at all times, regardless of whether phones are in use or not. With dynamic integrated, the entire T1 (1544 kilobits per second (kbps)) defaults to internet duties. As phones are used, bandwidth is assigned in real-time and with priority to each phone conversation. This prioritization ensures that the quality of voice traffic is not jeopardized by routine data traffic. Once each phone call is ended, the bandwidth allocated to that call is returned in real-time to internet duties, thus increasing the speed of access to and from the internet. Dynamic integrated T1 is the state-of-the-art version of integrated T1. It’s predecessor, channelized t1 was nowhere near as flexible and included much bandwidth wastage. For example, with channelized integrated, each of the 24 channels (64 kbps each) which make up a T1 circuit, is assigned to either voice or internet. I.e. 12 channels assigned as voice lines, and 12 channels (768 kbps) assigned to internet traffic. With this scenario, all data assigned to voice traffic, cannot be accessed for internet usage, without major reconfiguration. For this reason, when phones are not being used, all bandwidth allocated to the phones sits idol. Although dynamic integrated requires on premise equipment worth about $4000, this equipment and installation is provided for only a few hundred dollars by most telecom providers if the customer is willing to commit to a two year contract, and the equipment and installation are usually provided for free if the customer is willing to commit to a three year contract. Other benefits of dynamic integrated often include unlimited local and long distance usage (even in metered areas), up to 5000 minutes of toll free service per month, and online portal access, so that phone features can be accessed and revised in real-time by the customer. Several providers are now offering dynamic integrated t1 on bonded T1 circuits. Also, PRI is now available with dynamic integrated. (Click here to return to top of page)
